#50352 That scenario is about using an ESP attached on an Arduino UNO.

There is no need at all to have ESP talking to itself using AT commands.
Simply use the ESP framework API. There are plenty of examples provided, such WiFiClient or WebServer.

#50356 Exactly !
After uploading Arduino sketch, the AT Firmware is gone/erased.
If you wish to get it back, you need to upload this AT firmware again, but then your Arduino sketch will be gone/erased. You can not have both at the same time.
